    Which is both an incompetence and a facility problem in this case.

    Systems like fans when an incinerator is active shouldn’t rely on a human to flip switch. This should be automatic or there should be a lockout system that prevents the incinerator from operating if certain conditions are not first met.

      Maybe, I’m not sure how the things work. It’s entirely possible that it uses 150% more energy due to heat loss when the exhaust is on so there’s a procedure in place to pre-heat without ventilation and then use the fan for each incineration, returning to an idle state in between each.
